Despite political resistance and declining social acceptance, LGBTQ+ people can defend their rights and influence elections through community building and active political participation.

Together with our families and allies, equality voters can decide elections. The HRC calls on everyone: Check your voter registration status today; Make a plan to vote early, by mail, or on Election Day; Bring two or three friends to the polls.

The text reports on current survey data from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on the situation of LGBTQ+ people in the USA. It notes that transgender and gender-expansive people are most affected by the current political climate and are less likely to speak openly about their identity. At the same time, a decline in social acceptance is perceived. The text also emphasizes the ongoing sense of connection within the LGBTQ+ community and participation in events such as Pride. Historically, National Coming Out Day is traced back to the March on Washington in 1987. The text finally calls on people to register to vote, make a voting plan, and bring others to the polls. The central message is that political participation and community building serve as means to counter political resistance.
